ἀκούετε τοῦ
ψηφίσματος, ὦ ἄνδρες, ὅτι τὴν βουλὴν τοὺς πεντακοσίους καταβαίνειν εἰς
Πειραιᾶ χρηματιοῦσαν περὶ φυλακῆς τοῦ Πειραιέως ἐν τοῖς ὅπλοις ἔδοξε, καὶ
πράττειν διεσκευασμένην ὅ τι ἂν δοκῇ τῷ δήμῳ συμφέρον εἶναι. καίτοι, ὦ
ἄνδρες, εἰ οἱ ἀφειμένοι1 τοῦ στρατεύεσθαι ἕνεκα τοῦ βουλεύεσθαι ὑπὲρ τῆς πόλεως
ἐν τῇ τῶν στρατιωτῶν τάξει διέτριβον, ἆρ᾽ ὑμῖν δοκοῦσι μικροὶ καὶ οἱ
τυχόντες φόβοι τότε τὴν πόλιν κατασχεῖν;
